The rate is remembered on the day you pay
12 June, Czechia
519 Kč → €21,00
A fill-up for 519 korunas is saved with that day's rate — it entered the trip total as €21.00.
August, back home
€21,00
The report is opened two months later — still €21.00. The total does not float with the rate and is never rewritten.

Cash and card together
However you paid, it lands in one logbook and one total — no reconciling against bank statements. What the entry itself looks like →
